The race for Public Advocate is heating up, with challenger Andrew Rasiej inviting his rivals - including Norman Siegel, Jay Golub and Betsy Gotbaum - to participate in a series of "People's Debates" in all five boroughs. (Thus far, only Gotbaum has not committed to participating in the debate, claiming that she has already fulfilled the two-debate quota mandated by the city's campaign finance law.) As one might expect, given the Rasiej campaign's focus on technology, the debates will be streamed via the Internet for any interested voters, says the New York Daily News.
